stop all the clocks;

maroonblood how are you and john doing? i see you online but inactive most days so i know you guys are chit chatting the day away

exforma It isn’t always him. More often recently it is Dave, Kris, or Vizcai. As for John, I force him to switch messaging clients at my will so I know his devotion is genuine. That, and his reaction when he misses a message is very amusing. We’re fine.

maroonblood e f f thats one way to test if a boy is husband material

exforma You aren’t wrong, but it wasn’t until I heard it phrased that way that it occurs to me no such test is being run. In that capacity, clearly, but nor anywhere else. I am quite confident I would be hypothetically very lucky to snag him, John proving himself would not be one of the hurdles to pass. He is the first man like that I have encountered, I think.

maroonblood ‘i am quite confident i would be hypothetically very lucky to shag him’ is my new favorite sentence also! a lovely sentiment i am quite fond of him

exforma Snag. Snag, Aradia, not shag.

maroonblood same thing

exforma Most certainly not. The shagging is of no hypothetical nature.

maroonblood i dont imagine youd sit him down for tea in some terribly distant victorian way were you to snag him

exforma I just might. He’s a good sport.

maroonblood after, dear id save it for after

exforma You know what the worst part of it is?

maroonblood i imagine im about to find out

malleablepersonage Do you need to sleep too?

exforma Soon.

malleablepersonage Okay. Don't stay up too late on my account

exforma I won't. I'm awake because my bed feels a tad empty, and so finding slumber is not so easy as it would otherwise be.

malleablepersonage I'm willing to offer snuggles if they would help and you would find them agreeable.

exforma You're sweet, but it is the lack of a particular person here that I am feeling at the moment. Thank you for offering all the same.

But that said, what does it matter? I have a job that, all things considered, I love. I have money. I have a roof over my head, I have food, I have running water, I have a firm grip on my eating and on my drinking. I no longer exercise to the point of fainting. I am not in any danger. I have friends I adore. I have friends that adore me. 

And I have John. What would I be willing to trade for him? Nothing.
